.
In the same way as for an ordinary shared FC, vfcIDs can be assigned to LPARs.
However, if HBA-core dedicated mode is enabled, the maximum value of the vfcID
that can be assigned is limited to the number of HBA cores on the FC adapter.
Although a vfcID greater than the number of HBA cores can be assigned to the
LPAR, activation of the LPAR is suppressed.
